Building Trust in Teams
summary
Trust directly improves software quality by making people safe to fail and collaborate; concrete tactics include weekly in-office code‑review lunches, shared pizza, cross‑team install shadowing, and volunteering together to create shared experiences. Remote practices are specific: equip remote staff with high‑quality headsets (~$200), schedule video coffee chats, and run month‑long reciprocal exchanges (not a week) so an influencer embeds trust across sites. These steps reinforce autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
